I was wondering if anyone has any kind of use for this stuff, besides the obvious. I have probably 5lbs of it, and got more with the recent 2 kits I ordered. I'll probably use some of it this time around, to bottle some, though.

Any suggestions? Maybe bring it to work, and put it in my coffee?

You could use it in a Belgian tripel recipe to boost the gravity without increasing the body.

I also use table sugar for priming, and I notice no flavor differences. If you use table sugar, you should use 91 percent of the calculated weight of corn sugar, which in the form used for cooking and brewing is 9 percent water. This will ensure accurate carbonation.
